Lesson 1: Sheltering and Caring for Animals
Handout 1

Letter to Families

Dear Family,
Our class is studying about Animal Welfare.  As part of the study we will be researching animal shelters in our community and how they provide an important service for our community.  We will also discover what animal shelters might need to continue to care for their animals. Let me share some of the things that we have learned with you.
(List what you will tell your family about animal welfare and shelters)

Please tell me what you know about shelters in our community and help me discover what their needs may be.

In the next few days our class will be deciding how to share with others what we learned and will be collecting items to donate to a shelter.

Be sure to ask me about what we are learning each day.

Sincerely
